On Friday, September 23 at 2:30pm, the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) will hold its first meeting of the 2011-12 academic year. Co-Advisors Curt Campbell and Kelly Starchok-Gillow will meet with the student-athletes who represent the athletic teams in the Hafner Recreation Center’s conference room.

The SAAC serves the student-athlete population as an avenue to share information on NCAA matters, college matters and team-issue concerns. Further, the SAAC provides a learning and growing experience though community service activities and sport participation.

Hilbert College supports 12 varsity programs with the department’s SAAC represented by two student-athletes from each team.

Anyone wishing to participate who cannot attend the meeting should contact Curt or Kelly prior to the meeting date.

Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college’s engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college’s first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.
